I already hear the cries of “guns will ruin it, they'll be too powerful!” Well fear not, while guns can kill in one hit, they have appalling accuracy (staying true to the period), and they take up-to a full ten seconds to reload which is plenty of time for you to run and stick your sword into your foes guts, and them to you if you're not careful. Let me tell you - my Hulk Hogan-alike wielding a musket was an awesome moment. Instead of having bows and cross-bows (which are now missing) we now have muskets, flint lock pistols and grenades. The major new addition, however, and the source of the “Fire” in the name, is the inclusion of guns. As with previous games, you'll create your character – who can only be male, now, with females strangely absent in creation – assign your stats and begin your adventure doing whatever you please, wherever you please. Now, with that out of the way, on to the rest of the game.įirst of all, the start. To get this out of the way, the game is not a looker, it runs on the Warband engine so you can fully expect the same graphics as that, which is to say, merely passable and not even the slightest but pretty to look at. The question is, is it worth your time and money? Read on to find out. While it has never had a direct sequel, this second stand alone expansion, With Fire and Sword adds more to the existing games. Mount and Blade is a series I've had the joy of reviewing over its life-span ( Original, Warband), from its humble beginnings to now being recognised as one of many PC gamers favoured franchises.
